that in all ito appointments II Is the
equal, If not the superior, OF any in the
Territory. Built OF adobe with plastered
walls inside and out and an iron roof, the
hotel is almost fire-proof, which is a point
worthy Of the attention OF the travelling
public.
The building is owned by Messrs. u.
II. and A. A. Spear, gentlemen who are
both long and favorably known ia this
county, who have made money here and
have not been afraid to invest it where
they made it. This hotel cost them about
twenty thousand dollars, and we under
stand that they are so well pleased with
the future prospects Of Kingman that they
will shortly erect another block Of build
ings, 10 be used as stores and Offices, on
the property owned by them on Front
Street.

Nelson and wife, who are both well
known in this county, and especially
along the railroad, and who have hosts oi
friends everywhere. Mrs. Nelson, assisted
by Miss Lulu Britain anil Miss Gertrude
Nelson, will have special charge OF the
dining room and the upstairs department.
while the Supervisor himself attends 10
the outside work, such as running errands,
purchasing supplies and making himself
generally useful. The bar and Office will
be under the especial care OF Col. B.
Moses, who is competent book-keepe,
and an obliging gentleman, whose bust
ness qualities and experience in Albu'
quergue and in this county have gained
for him a large circle Of acquaintances
The culinary department is presided over
by Chas. Billings, arst-class cook o.
many years experience in San Francisco
hotels, whose efforts in the art OF cooking
must be tested to be properly appreci.
ated Mr.. Billings is ably assisted by
Albert Dukro and others
With a frst-class hotel, handsome ap.
pointments, competent help, and good
cooks and the best wishes of the commu-
nifty, Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson ought to make
money out Of the Kingman Hotel, and
we hope they will.
